More About School Buses
With Busrentalsanmarcos.com, you get access to a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving San Marcos and the entire North County San Diego region — so you are never stuck with whatever one company happens to have parked on its lot! School buses come in two main configurations through the network. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults, making them a great fit for smaller groups, classroom trips, or tight pickup routes through residential neighborhoods.
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44 to 48 adults and give bigger groups plenty of room to spread out for longer hauls. Compare both side by side and find the right fit for your headcount!
